breezeshadowEspecially smw, man, you know about this better than any of us:
Cracked.com's "How to Become an Author in 5 Incredibly Difficult Steps"
It is so true.
So painfully, beautifully true.
To everyone in general: I am so sorry for being basically gone. Between mental health and school, it's been hard enough seeing my real-life friends, and communicating with my boyfriend in something other than whines and panic attacks, let alone finding the time to get onto DreamWidth. I've effectively abandoned you guys and I apologize for that, as abandoning people isn't exactly something I like to do or like to think of myself as having done.
But I am alive. I was put on Lexapro so hopefully it will kick my brain's ass and get me back to semi-normal. Also I think I have discovered the root of my stomach problems: lactose. CURSE YOU LACTOSE!
I'd become vegan if it wouldn't likely kill me. CURSE YOU EATING DISORDER AND METABOLISM!
So that means I get to remember to have lactase with all dairy. All. Dairy. Otherwise yesterday will happen again and I don't want that.
I'm also going to try to write some of my novel today, as since my cells were assholes and died, I have all day to quantify my experiments. This involves manually circling a cell every four frames and clicking measure. For 72 frames. Per cell. There are twenty cells per experiment. I've run five experiments.
Today is going to be fun.
So if anyone has any questions about my novel or my life or wants to say hello and assure me that you guys haven't given up on ever talking to me again, feel free to leave a comment! Or bug me on AIM. Seriously, AIM is the best way to get in touch with me right now. Or text.
I think a bird is stuck in the kitchen so I'm going to go take care of that, my dishes, and possibly bake an apple crostata.
Tschuess.
